Catching Up

I'm a bit behind on blog posts. This, of course, doesn't mean that there hasn't been a lot of cooking in my kitchen, just not enough time to write about it.

I'll backtrack a little after this post to post some photos of previous cooking adventures.

But first I want you to see Sunday's bread harvest:

These are made with the sourdough starters I developed for my Winter Edible Santa Barbara article on making bread with wild yeast. Two of the starters are made with grapes from Alma Rosa Winery, two were made with yeast from a locally grown wheat. None of these breads have commercial yeast in them, just wild yeast starter.

Yes, there were actually four loaves, but one didn't last long enough to be in the photo.
